Old books, old tales, old ballads.<BR/><BR/>I inherited an old (American) tome called: "Farm Ballads". I plan to enjoy reading through it one day.<BR/><BR/>---<BR/><BR/>And HI gzusfreek, <BR/>That's cool you're being a "beta reader". It's quite fun. <BR/>There's a tactful ways to be a beta-tester...if you're worried about offending the person you are helping out, shoot me an email, or post a comment here with any questions, I have some good thoughts on this matter.Brandon Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850891283015240498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325191.post-19483726372045510402008-12-08T20:17:00.000-08:002008-12-08T20:17:00.000-08:00Good post BB.

I recently became a "beta reader" for a new author (to publish in Jan) Brutal honesty was a bit frightening, but I know if it were me, I'd want it no other way! You have the perfect list of "Wise readers", it looks like!

I've never seen that one, and I'm fairly well read in the older ones. What's interesting to me is the title "Warriors Three". There is a thread through many of the old english ballads about the "Brothers Three", one of whom is Robin Hood, and my daughter has done a lot of research on this. Now obviously this comic is about Norse warriors, but still, I wonder if there is a basis in old Norse legends or ballads that share a similarity to the English ones?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325191.post-90853707349234058082008-12-08T10:25:00.000-08:002008-12-08T10:25:00.000-08:00Thank you, David!

At your invitation, I browsed over to this blog. You asked for "wise readers" to evaluate your writing, so here goes.<BR/><BR/>You write: "They must be ruthless in there desire to make your book the best it can be..." In this sentence, "there" should be "their".<BR/><BR/>You write: "The warrior's in this comic are similar to the type of wise readers you are looking for." In this case, "warrior's" is not speaking of something possessive, but rather it simply refers to a plurality. It would be "warriors".<BR/><BR/>And finally, "Going with the fantasy motif: May your wise readers speaketh truth, and may you hideth not from it..." Here "speaketh" should simply be "speak" in this sentence.<BR/><BR/>Have a great day! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325191.post-891711038226766252008-12-07T18:18:00.000-08:002008-12-07T18:18:00.000-08:00Yea for Brandon Barr's wise readers!!Yea for Brandon Barr's wise readers!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
